I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Tang Mengyan didn't care much about what Bihe said. Compared to whether her elder brother was angry or not, she was more concerned about whether she could find the trace of that person.

"It's okay. Anyway, my brother has found out and I am worried about it. Why are you so worried? Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late. Let's go back to the inn first."

After saying that, Tang Mengyan turned around and left first. Bihe stood there with no words to express her grievances.

Her young lady is so impatient that she will rush forward recklessly regardless of whether the matter is true or not.

I just overheard the conversation between the eldest young master and young master Fang in Zuixianlou and impulsively set off for Qingshui Town. Now I have been searching inside and outside for several days, but I haven't seen any trace of that adult.

Who knows, maybe that adult isn’t even in this little town.

Besides, seeing how the eldest young master dotes on the young lady, how could he possibly blame her for this matter? The eldest young master would only say that her personal maid did a bad job and even the master couldn't persuade her.

Although the young lady said that she would be responsible for any problems, it was always the maid who was punished in the end.

Although Bihe thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she could only resign herself to her fate and follow Tang Mengyan's pace.

Beijing, Tang family.

Tang Fusheng had been so busy these days organizing a welcoming banquet for the Beichen envoy that he didn't notice that Tang Mengyan was missing.

After several days of busy work, Tang Fusheng had finally finished preparing for the welcoming banquet. He now had time to return home to have a good rest and think about the affairs of Qingshui Town.

Tang Fusheng sat in the study for the entire afternoon. When he came to his senses and came out of the study, it was already getting dark.

He stretched his waist and looked around, feeling that the yard was particularly deserted today.

It took me a long time to figure out what was wrong.

Where was his clingy and noisy sister?

On weekdays, as soon as he came back from court, he could always see Tang Mengyan in the yard directing a group of servants to do this and that.

After coming back today, he hasn't even seen Tang Mengyan.

Thinking of this, Tang Fusheng realized that he had been busy with official duties these days and had not cared about his sister for a long time.

He turned to look at the butler beside him and asked, "Where's the young lady?"

The old housekeeper was stunned, and bent over with a evasive look in his eyes: "Master, Miss, uh, you should be in your own yard now."

Hearing what the butler said, Tang Fusheng frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

His face darkened, and his voice revealed some displeasure: "Uncle Zhao, you know I don't like being deceived."

The old butler heard the unhappiness in Tang Fusheng's tone and immediately broke out in a cold sweat and dared not hide the truth for Tang Mengyan anymore.

"My dear young master, the young lady took Bihe to Qingshui Town a few days ago. I really don't know what they are doing there."

After hearing what he said, Tang Fusheng's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

Sure enough, the half piece of cake at the door of the Tianzi box in Zuixianlou last time was left by my younger sister.

The last time he walked out of the box, he vaguely smelled a familiar scent, which was the scent of the incense used by his younger sister.

At that time he thought he was overthinking, but he didn't expect that it was really his younger sister who was eavesdropping outside.

It would have been fine if he had just eavesdropped, but he actually had the audacity to go to Qingshui Town without permission.

Given their little sister's reckless personality, if she did something to offend that adult, it would be a disaster for their Tang family no matter how many merits they had.

Thinking of this, Tang Fusheng's face turned dark, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Prepare the car immediately and go to Qingshui Town!"

The old butler did not dare to delay and quickly turned around to prepare the carriage, fearing that Tang Fusheng's anger would be directed at him.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo brought the children back to Da'an Village, planning to stay in the village for a few more days and spend more time with the elderly couple Wen Qing and Liu Sufen.

After all, the couple didn't know when they would leave this land, and Wen Shutang's intuition told her that day was not far away.

After finishing dinner and settling the children down, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo chatted in the room.

Wen Shutang told Xiao Yizhuo about the domineering and rude woman he met in town today.

She looked up at Xiao Yizhuo and said seriously, "The brocade that woman is wearing is not something that we have in our small place, and the pearl hairpins on her head are all made of real gold and silver."

Xiao Yizhuo heard the hidden meaning in Wen Shutang's words and frowned slightly.

"Although that woman is a bit domineering, her behavior doesn't seem like that of a common family. Instead, she seems to be a spoiled child raised in a wealthy family." Wen Shutang frowned as he carefully analyzed the person he met today.

Listening to Wen Shutang's description, Xiao Yizhuo had probably guessed who this woman was.

Mu Yin had told him before that Tang Mengyan heard the conversation between Tang Fusheng and Fang Wenhe, and she also knew that he was in Qingshui Town.

It now seems that Tang Mengyan has arrived in the town and has had a conflict with Wen Shutang.

Xiao Yizhuo frowned, and felt annoyed when he thought of Tang Mengyan. He had never seen such a rude and arrogant woman.

If the original Wen Shutang was domineering and aggressive, then Tang Mengyan was vicious and greedy. It is not an exaggeration to use these two words to describe her.

Xiao Yizhuo told Wen Shutang all the information that Mu Yin had found out, including Tang Mengyan whom they met today.

After hearing what Xiao Yizhuo said, Wen Shutang was not very surprised. It was pretty much what she had guessed.

"It sounds like the Tang family is quite powerful?" Wen Shutang asked, touching his chin.

Xiao Yizhuo patiently told her about the background of the Tang family: "When the late emperor was still alive, the Tang family was originally just a small family. Whether it was the family background or the number of children serving as officials in the court, they were not very prominent in the capital. However, because they bet on the right person, they chose to stand with the then-unrespected Third Prince, who is now the emperor. Since the Third Prince overwhelmed the then Crown Prince and registered in his place, the Tang family almost rose to fame overnight, becoming a favorite of the emperor and becoming one of the major families in the capital. At that time, the head of the family was named Duke of Pei, and his descendants have always inherited this title."

Xiao Yizhuo seemed to be lost in memories. He paused and continued, "Although he was conferred the title of Duke of Pei, the Tang family did not produce any talented descendants. Most of them were mediocre. It was not until the current head of the Tang family appeared that the Tang family's status was completely solidified. The current head of the Tang family is named Tang Fusheng. This person does have an outstanding mind and vision. He single-handedly pulled the Tang family back from the end of its strength. Now the Tang family is still active in front of the emperor, and was still valued by the emperor before I left. The Tang family is the emperor's trusted family."
